Abstract:

Soil chemical laboratory analyses of all 27 comparative study plots. Contents of exchangable Na, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Al, H, effective Cation Exchange Capacity (CECeff; extraction with 1 M NH4Cl) and base saturation (BS) of six depth increments per CSP. Total depth is 50 cm. Single element concentrations might be interesting if there are signs for toxic reactions in plants. Base saturation (sum of Na, K, Ca, Mg in % of CECeff). CECeff is the sum of all measured elements including H.

Design:

Depth increments were taken from systematic corings: 1 coring per subplot means 9 corings per CSP. Samples were bulked from the 9 corings to one sample per depth increment (0-5, 5-10, 10-20, 20-30, 30-40, 40-50 cm.), so that 6 samples exist per CSP.

Spatial extent:

The Gutianshan National Nature Reserve (NNR) is located in the western part of Zhejiang Province (29º8'18" – 29º17'29" N, 118º2'14" – 118º11'12" E, Fig. 1). The Gutianshan NNR has an area of approximately 81 km2. From 27 comparative study plots (CSPs) soil samples were taken in 6 depth increments per CSP

Temporal extent:

Samples were collected 2008 and 2009. Lab analyses were carried from 2009 to 2011

Taxonomic extent:

No organisms were sampled.

Measurement cirumstances:

No information available

Data analysis:

Base saturation (sum of Na, K, Ca, Mg in % of CECeff). CECeff is the sum of all measured elements including H. EA (Exchange acidity) is rarely used and is primarily associated with exchangable Al and H ions.
